I didn’t see any weasel wording although there could have been more detail.

This virus is dangerous because it’s so unpredictable. Some don’t know they ever had it and others die in a short time.

A hospital nurse told me about a nurse in NY who ran into a patient’s room, because patient was coding, and the nurse didn’t wait to put on her protective equipment because she wanted to save the patient. The NY nurse died 7 days later.

The nurse who was telling me this said she thinks it’s the “viral load” - if you get a lot of the virus thrown on you then it’s more difficult to survive.

The viral load hypothesis has been proven to be true in Italy, China, and other locales.

Died... of what?

I swear: Unless it is stated explicitly that the person in question died of COVID and nothing else (i.e., no comorbidities), I'm going to assume, when reading anecdotes like this ("a friend of a friend told me that they knew somebody who said..."), that the given person jumped out of a 7th-story window, sucked on a revolver, or had an anvil dropped on them.

Omitting salient facts is worse than "weasel-wording."

Like flies to the turd COVID Cowards pounce on the very out of the mainstream odd COVID “related” death of a young person.

Did she save the patient??

it’s the “viral load“ ..

I’ve wondered about this. Perhaps some Freeper can answer some questions.

If a single virus invades a cell how many replicas of itself can it create before that cell stops making replicas? Does that cell necessarily die in order to release the replicas?

How long is the time interval between infection of a cell and the time when a replicated virus typically infects a different cell.

I ask because the human body might benefit greatly from having a longer period of time from initial infection to some specific infection level. That time would allow an earlier immune response before the onset of more serious symptoms.
